Brazil has emerged as both a driver of growth in South America and an active force in world politics in the decade since the
Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) convened its first Independent Task Force on the country. During this period, Brazil has
lifted nearly thirty million of its citizens out of poverty, significantly expanded its middle class, become increasingly
active within multilateral institutions and international forums, and weathered the recent worldwide recession -- all in a
peaceful, market-oriented, and democratic context. To be sure, Brazil is still contending with important internal concerns
-- its remaining poor, the growing challenges of climate change, and its ongoing transformation from a commodity-based to
an industrial economy, to name just a few. Nevertheless, the message of this report could hardly be clearer: Brazil matters
not just regionally but globally. Its decisions and actions will affect the world's economy, environment, and energy future
as well as prospects for diplomacy and stability. Brazil is on the short list of countries that will most shape the twenty-first
century. U.S. and Brazilian foreign policy must adjust accordingly

In this report, the author explores the political and institutional changes that have contributed to congressional gridlock
and examines their consequences for foreign policy making. Some of these developments, she notes, are national trends that
have developed over a number of decades. Successive redistricting efforts, for example, have all but eliminated interparty
competition in some House districts, leaving the real competition to the primaries and the most ideologically driven voters.
King further notes that the rising cost of elections has increased the time devoted to fundraising at the expense of substantive
priorities, and the twenty-four hour news cycle has decreased the time and incentive for reflective debate. More subtle, but
equally important, institutional changes have likewise diminished Congress's effectiveness. A decline in committee chairmen's
authority and expertise, tighter control over voting by party leaders, and the relaxation of traditional customs limiting
the use of procedural tools to practical ends have all, led to a breakdown in comity. The consequences highlighted are both
broad and significant, from delayed presidential appointments to a poorly coordinated budget process for critical foreign
policy areas such as intelligence, diplomacy, and development

"Even among failed states-- those countries unable to exercise authority over their territory and provide the most basic services
to their people-- Somalia stands apart. A country of some nine million, it has lacked a central government since the fall
of Mohamed Siad Barre's regime in 1991. Poverty and insecurity are endemic. Less than 40 percent of Somalis are literate,
more than one in ten children dies before turning five, and a person born in Somalia today cannot assume with any confidence
that he or she will reach the age of fifty. Failed states provide fertile ground for terrorism, drug trafficking, and a host
of other ills that threaten to spill beyond their borders. Somalia is thus a problem not just for Somalis but for the United
States and the world. In particular, the specter of Somalia's providing a sanctuary for al-Qaeda has become an important concern,
and piracy off Somalia's coast, which affects vital international shipping lanes, remains a menace. In this report, Bronwyn
E. Bruton proposes a strategy to combat terrorism and promote development and stability in Somalia. She first outlines the
recent political history involving the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) formed in 2004 and its Islamist opponents, chiefly
the Shabaab, which has declared allegiance to al-Qaeda. She then analyzes U.S. interests in the country, including counterterrorism,
piracy, and humanitarian concerns, as well as the prospect of broader regional instability."--P. vii
